The Brooding Earl's Proposition (Harlequin Historical) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 37 ratings

A young governess melts the heart of a brooding earl, only to be shocked by a scandalous proposition in this heartfelt historical romance.

Arriving at the forbidding mansion on the Yorkshire moors, governess Selina Salinger is alarmed to find her new employer just as forbidding! Little is known about Lord Westcroft, who has newly inherited his estate and title—as well as the guardianship of his two orphaned nieces. But Selina soon discovers that the handsome earl’s aloof demeanor conceals a tender heart.

As Lord Westcroft warms to Selina’s beauty and charms, their kisses make her dare to hope the ice around his heart is melting and a proposal could be a possibility. Instead he shocks her with a proposition so scandalous that no lady could ever accept!

A bit contrived, but I enjoyed it all the same. Excellect author!
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020
This is a governess story, but better than most. The new Earl has charge of his two nieces, recently orphaned due to the death of his older brother. Most of the story involves his coming to grips with his childhood and a forced marriage. She is burdened with the horror of being literally kicked out of her home by her half brother on the death of her father, and her father's apparent lack of providing for her future. He plans to get the governess established, and then leave the girls in her care while he returns to India and his thriving business there. Or is he simply running away?
